A Really Specific Sex Story About Falling In Love For One Night

It was New Year’s Eve and I was sad about another guy and I don’t believe the advice that says you can get over anyone by getting over someone else. That leads to really bad sex in my opinion and nothing makes you miss someone you had good sex with like having bad sex with someone else. I woke up lonely and I wasn’t looking forward to spending the night celebrating somewhere without someone to kiss at midnight.

A weird thing about Tinder is that despite not really having any qualms about meeting someone for a one night stand, I’d had the app for years without ever having a one night stand through it. Guys aren’t just too weird. They’re shady or they don’t seem smart, or they seem too paranoid about whether I’ll get attached to them (The Biggest Turnoff) so it had just never happened. I’d met some guys for dates, met some guys just to go out and drink with, and met a few guys I dated for a month or two, but that’s it.

But that morning as I lay in bed thinking about how I really didn’t want to attend this New Year’s party solo, I opened the app, thinking if lightning was ever going to strike, today seemed like the right day.

I talked to a few forgettable people before I connected with Mike, a guy who didn’t live in the city but grew up and and was home for the holidays visiting his parents. He had a stoner vibe in a way that can sometimes seem boring, but when you just want to relax with someone and not feel pressured… he seemed safe. Not soulmate material, but someone I felt like I could genuinely enjoy the company of for an evening, and vice versa.
